Start of gear

So recently I began to accumulate the things that appealed most to me... hat, jacket, boots.

My first purchase was a Penman fedora. Not yet made of course, but on order none the less.
Next was a USWings Cowhide Legend. Really digging that jacket.

And now these:

They are the 403 in brown. Quality footwear in my opinion, and the break-in period was non-existant. Comfortable from day one.
Already thinking about another pair. ;)

Looks like 403's. Great pair of boots there, and they only get better and more comfortable with wear. I always wondered if HF wore his 405 boots when he was a carpenter and if these were the same ones he used in Raiders?

Yes, they are 403's... I just edited my post to say that.

Always wondered the same thing about the movie.

That color is so rich looking. Very nice boots. Indy Aldens are my next purchase.

I think the general consensus is that he probably did wear 405's when he was a carpenter. I'm sure they ordered a number of pair specifically for the movie, though, as they did with all other items of gear.
